Think cyberattacks only target large corporations? Think again. Small businesses have become the prime targets for cybercriminals because they often lack robust defenses and are more likely to pay ransoms.
Unlike Fortune 500 companies that can absorb breach costs, most small businesses face devastating financial consequences.
IBM's Cost Of A Data Breach Report 2024 reveals the average data breach costs a staggering $4.88 million. This figure includes downtime, customer loss, legal expenses, ransom payments, and damage to your brand reputation.
It sounds alarming — and it is.
But here's the silver lining: an innovative cybersecurity solution is empowering businesses like yours to detect and stop cyberattacks before they wreak havoc, revolutionizing how companies protect themselves.
Introducing a Smarter Defense Strategy
This solution is called endpoint detection and response (EDR). You don't need to memorize the acronym — just understand its powerful function.
Imagine a vigilant digital security guard monitoring your systems around the clock.
Unlike traditional antivirus software that only blocks known threats, EDR continuously monitors every action on your devices — every login, file modification, and unusual activity. If it detects suspicious behavior, like ransomware spreading or logins from unfamiliar locations, EDR immediately intervenes to neutralize the threat.
Why EDR Is Crucial Now More Than Ever
Cybercriminals have evolved beyond outdated tactics. They now use stolen credentials, disguise malware as everyday files, and exploit a single employee error to infiltrate your systems.
EDR stops these advanced threats in their tracks — protecting your business from catastrophic damage.
Not Just Smart — Often Mandatory
Many business owners don't realize that cyber insurance providers are increasingly requiring EDR tools. Without this protection, your insurance may refuse to cover breach-related losses — similar to filing a fire claim without a smoke detector.
